		After that, Pendine didn't have the length to accommodate the run-up and braking distances needed by the monster pre-war record cars, which moved to Daytona Beach in Florida and, later, the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.

		An expanse where brave speedmen raced and attempted to break records Pendine has seen much, cloaked grief too, yet today, in the cool of an October evening, Pendine is grasping some of summer's last sunshine, still used by holidaymakers.
